Add an option to disable connection notifications in Vino

completed by: m4tx

mentors: David King

  • Vino currently pops up a notification when a user connects to the system. Some users would like to disable the notification, as in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588305 , so a new GSettings option needs to be added to control this behaviour. There is no need to add anything to the UI to control this setting, as it should be hidden from most users because it would be a security risk. An old patch exists on the bug, which can be used as inspiration.
  • Expected results: An updated patch on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588305 which adds the GSetting and only shows connect notifications if it is enabled
  • Requirements: C programming, GTK+ programming, Git, English
